Snatched: Joy to Tragedy

Wednesday,
the fourteenth of July 1993, started almost like any other day but ended in the lives of
innocent people being turned upside down, and it became a black day on the calendar. And
over the next seven days, hearts and minds were filled with terror, by the working out of
one woman’s bizarre and overpowering delusion.

A powerful, compelling and thought-provoking story about the kidnapping of a baby by a woman
who lost her own child by cot death. The reader is drawn into the lives of the players in this
emotive drama - the deluded woman, her distraught and devoted husband, the anxious family of
the kidnapped child and the police who are hunting for the missing child. The drama links Scotland
and England as the deluded woman leads the police in both countries in a four-hundred miles
chase to rescue the baby. The lives of the principal characters are turned upside down as they
fear for the child’s safety. The woman’s mental state descends into madness and ends in tragedy.
